About Amplus Law

One of the highest-rated law firms in Mississauga, going by its Google reviews.

Amplus Law is based in Mississauga. Alaa Abu-Hijleh founded the firm as principal lawyer, focusing the practice on immigration and refugee law, alongside real estate, wills and estates, and notary services. Abu-Hijleh holds an Honours Bachelor of Arts in political science from the University of Toronto, a Bachelor of Laws from the University of Birmingham, and a Master of Laws from Osgoode Hall Law School, where the LL.M. thesis examined the adequacy of refugee law protections for people facing mandatory military enlistment.

Before founding the firm, Abu-Hijleh took part in Osgoode Hall's Pro Bono program, working with a firm focused on immigration and refugee matters and gaining experience with refugee claims, Humanitarian and Compassionate applications, and sponsorship files. Work after graduation included real estate transactions and drafting wills and powers of attorney, experience that carried into the areas the firm now practices.

The firm serves clients in English, Arabic, Portuguese, and Spanish and has said it keeps connections with law firms in the Middle East and the United States. Abu-Hijleh belongs to the Law Society of Ontario, the Canadian Bar Association, the Ontario Bar Association, the International Bar Association, the Canadian Association of Refugee Lawyers, the Refugee Lawyers Association of Ontario, the Arab Canadian Lawyers Association, the Women's Law Association, the Ontario Real Estate Association, and the Toronto Lawyers Association.
